| | Mural - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Murals of sorts date to prehistoric times such as the paintings on the Caves of Lascaux in southern France, but the term became famous with the Mexican muralista art movement (Diego Rivera, es:Pedro Nel Gómez, David Siqueiros, José Orozco or Rufino Tamayo). | | | Murals are significant in that they bring art into the public sphere. | | | State-sponsored public art expressions, particularly murals, are often used by totalitarian regimes as a tool of mass-control and propaganda. |

| | Arts Austin Murals |
| | With so many murals sprouting up around town, there is an even greater need for artists and the public to understand what goes into such large-scale works of art, in terms of both the actual painting and their planning. | | | Not for another 24 years did a mural capture the attention of Austinites the way Fogel's had in 1950, and never before had a work of public art managed to celebrate the public expression like this one. | | | Although it was painted in secrecy and without the consent of the wall's owners, the city paid for its restoration in the mid-Eighties, indicating that graffiti art, although not always welcomed, had become an intrinsic part of the community. |

| | Painting a mural usually takes one to three months depending on the number of painters in a group and the number of hours per painting session. | | | If you are a school or community group, we encourage you to involve an artist or coordinator to guide the composition and lead the painting of the mural. | | | Instead of using the supplied Latex paint, some artists have successfully used other types of paint materials, like aerosol lacquer (spray) paint, black gesso (background) with oil pastel drawing or oil base paint. |

| | Mural painting allows beauty and interest to spring from surfaces, giving us hope, encouraging us to live our lives fully, and helping us to believe that we can change the world that we live in. | | | The effect of murals and art on our daily reality is immeasurable, perhaps like the effect of the long lost beauty of elms on our ideas of "what is a tree". | | | I believe that we can be surrounded by "high" art, art that revives us, elevates us, employs all of our faculties and keeps us on our toes. |
